"It Doesn't Bite" Fabio Napoleoni
Meet the Artist July 3rd & 4th!
Whether you are a novice art collector just beginning your journey or an experienced specialist wanting to step up your art collecting game, here are some quick tips to make your life easier!
- When purchasing art, it becomes part of your home or work. Make sure it reflects you as an individual. Buy art because you like it, because it moves you, and because it will enhance your life.
- Visit as many art galleries as you can, gallery staff can be helpful guides in your art education. If in Denver, you could start at Fascination St. Fine Art Gallery at 315 Detroit St. Denver, CO 80206.
- Get on gallery mailing lists so you'll be invited to openings and special events. Next event: May 15th 2015: Phillip Anthony
- Visit and join your local art museums and non profit art centers. Curators sometimes give lectures on collecting art. If your in Denver make sure to check out The Denver Art Museum.
- Attend National and International Art Fairs and Art Expos whenever possible.
- If you know art collectors, talk to them and find out what they know and what they've learned about collecting art.
- Read books on art history and books about collecting art.
- Subscribe to a few art magazines.
- Read reviews by local and national art critics, keeping in mind that reviews usually just reflect one persons opinion.
- Working with a professional art advisor / art consultant is a good way to learn about art collecting, and they will guide you through the process of purchasing art.
- Once you've educated yourself and have fallen in love with a work of art, buy it, take it home and enjoy it. Tune in later this week for tips on how to protect and display your art.
